  • graphics8 mentions

    The graphics in the game are a mixed bag, featuring nice 3D backdrops that are ultimately underutilized, as the gameplay is limited to a card table setting. While some users appreciate the updated card graphics for their clarity, others criticize the lack of resolution options and meaningful graphical tweaks, leading to a visually busy experience that fails to enhance the overall gameplay.

    • “The graphics are very, very busy.”
    • “Not only that, but they updated the card graphics to be cleaner and easier to read too!”
    • “If you want super shiny graphics, blood, and gore, it isn't here.”
    • “Here, well, we have 3D graphics, but they didn't bother with deep gameplay, so this is a big fail.”
    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
    • “The graphics are very, very busy.”
  • gameplay4 mentions

    The gameplay features solid mechanics and strategic depth, making it a great card game that is easy to learn yet challenging to master. However, the overall experience is marred by a lack of depth and engagement beyond the basic card interactions, leading to a mixed reception.

    • “What is here is a great card game with solid mechanics, gameplay, and tactics.”
    • “The mechanics of the game are also simple to learn, but you need strategy to win.”
    • “Anyway, this is pretty bad. Despite the rather nice (and possibly asset-flipped) Unity backdrop, the nice 3D graphics are just there to pan and tilt you down to the card table where all the gameplay takes place.”
    • “Here, we have 3D graphics, but they didn't bother with deep gameplay, so this is a big fail.”
    • “The mechanics of the game are simple to learn, but you need strategy to win.”
  • story2 mentions

    The game's story follows familiar zombie apocalypse tropes, featuring character sacrifices to drive the plot forward, but ultimately fails to engage players, resulting in a lack of interest in the narrative.

    • “The flow of the game mimics the drama and plot tropes of zombie apocalypse movies and TV shows, including sacrificing some characters for the sake of averting disaster or achieving victory.”
    • “Hardly a success story; gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.”
    • “The flow of the game mimics the drama and plot tropes of zombie apocalypse movies and TV shows, including sacrificing some characters for the sake of averting disaster or achieving victory.”
  • stability1 mentions

    Users express frustration with the stability of the game, highlighting issues such as the lack of a local LAN option and the need for complex workarounds like port forwarding or third-party software, which detracts from the overall experience compared to other games that function smoothly without such troubleshooting.

    • “I would be willing to do port forwarding on my router, but without a local LAN option, I am not even attempting to use Hamachi or Tunngle to work around a broken system when other games work perfectly fine without any troubleshooting.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the experience.”
    • “I constantly experience lag and disconnections, which severely impacts gameplay.”
  • replayability1 mentions

    Reviewers emphasize that replayability is only valuable if the game is enjoyable; if the gameplay isn't engaging, the potential for replaying loses significance.

    • “If it’s not fun, who cares about replayability?”
    • “Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to play it again.”
    • “The lack of meaningful choices makes replaying feel like a chore rather than an adventure.”
  • music1 mentions

    The music in the game is praised for its cool vibe while maintaining a subtle presence, complementing the overall experience without being overwhelming. Additionally, the visual design of the cards is highlighted as impressive.

    • “The soundtrack is cool but not too overwhelming, and the visuals of the cards are impressive.”
    • “The music perfectly complements the gameplay, enhancing the overall experience without being distracting.”
    • “I love how the soundtrack sets the mood; it's engaging and fits the theme of the game beautifully.”
